spine frame stand question

[Guest Rob]

A quick question:

 

Is the spine frame stand accessable from

both left and right sides of the bike? All

the photos I've seen have had the handle on

the left side of the bike, but mine seems to

only work with the handle on the right. It

doesn't appear to want to fit in the cradle

from the left side. Am I confused, or the stand?

 

Thanks

My stand, original Guzzi red one, fits only when the handle is on the right side of the bike and points forward.

 

This is different then one or two pictures in the factory Shop Manual where you can see the stand with its handle on the left side of the bike and pointing backwards.

 

If I were to try and fit my stand on the left side from behind then the muffler'd be in the way.

 

Funny...and very Italian.

When you first put the bike upright and then slide the stand under the left side of the bike (handle pointing backwards) you don't have to touch the muffler. But it's still quite tricky.
